And those humans, they kept trying. Speaking from thousands of years from now, it must be beautiful watching these videos, knowing about how mankind spread through so many stars and far corners of the galaxy.

Sadly, I just imagined how it feels when you lift off seems succesful. And then in the middle, your rocket below you explode, and next you free fall to the ocean. Horrible. Rest in peace for all the astronauts and cosmonots

This makes me appreciate the endless hours of trial and error in a very complex, difficult and fascinating discipline - rocket science..just years after these tests, US and Russia were landing on other planets and touring the outer solar system...pretty amazing.

Please please please can you update this video with the music from the old Rocket launch Failures compilation? My Autistic Son LOVES this video and watches it at least 5 times a day, but he cannot get used to the new music and has been really upset with the change :)

Awesome compilation of video, but why the depressing music? These are basically just experiments that didn't go as planned (with the exception of the challenger, of course, and that part of this video shouldn't have any music at all. It should just be a moment of silence for those that lost their lives.)

the music is not depressing, is free music i can put on a video without copyright infringement, you know, it's youtube, if you use copyrighted music you are lost (and i suffered it a lot in another videos)

They weren't fucking useless. The V2 was basically the first rocket to go long distance made by the nazis to attempt to bomb other nations. Without those failures. Nothing would be in space right now. All the other failure were caused by something else that the engineers and scientist spaced while making the rocket. Then when the rocket failed, they figured out what went wrong, improved upon the design, and got the thing into space. tl;dr rocket fails arent useless because you can learn from mistake. Fuck off.

I wish there was more info about each failure. America televised every launch whether it succeeded or not, where as Russia only showed films of successes and covered up the deaths of it's cosmonauts. BTW: Who launched the Camara rockets?
